Columbia College Dean James Valentini and School of Engineering and Applied Science Dean Mary Boyce said in an email on Friday that they expect students will get to meet a few candidates for the dean of undergraduate student life in early December.

Just when we thought it'd never happen, it happened: James Valentini and Mary Boyce accepted the #ALSIceBucketChallenge. Before today's Activities Fair, the deans came out in front of Butler and declared their support for ALS research at the Columbia Medical School.

When Gloria Brooks Reinish, SEAS ’45, ’48, ’74, stepped onto Columbia’s campus as the first female undergraduate at the School of Engineering and Applied Science in February 1943, she was making history.

The School of Mines—the first iteration of Columbia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science—opened in November 1864 on Madison Avenue with three faculty members. Now, 150 years later, SEAS has almost 2,000 faculty, 4,500 students, and a permanent home on Columbia’s Morningside Heights campus.
